Sure, it probably doesn't sound so great, but it's hard not to love this Bontempi Pop 3 organ. The German ebay page seems to suggest it was designed by Verner Panton, but I haven't been able to corroborate it. It's currently just €22 with a day to go, item #7353602866. ps: Yes, there are lots of shopping-related bits at the moment, because I'm currently selling my Microwave XT, and hunting for a used Nord Modular G2. Please do get in touch if you can help with either...

This just made my day! I had one of those organs as a child!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what happened to mine...
gonna have to give mom a call and ask, hehe.
MT you rokk! :D
the german text says, it's in a kind of Panton-ish popart design. He also mentions the designer Colombo. This is usual search engine bluff in the design-furniture section (like the "no moog, arp, roland" thing in the synths section).
ReplyDeleteand, yes, it looks damn cool.
That Nord G2 is a beaut, you will not be sorry. Very sturdy and wild. Good luck finding one used!
